My mom, Evely Laser Shlensky, is the original Scrambler--she taught me almost everything I know about organizing meals. Today she sent me this suggestion in response to this week's column about freezing and defrosting meals:
In reading your very helpful column about freezing prepared meals, I suggest, for those who do this with any regularity (that definitely includes me, as you know), making a "Cooked Foods in Freezer" list and hanging it on the frig. I list the item, the day it was frozen, and the number of servings it contains. When I want a homecooked meal without cooking, I refer to my list. Once I remove that meal, I cross it off the list. This also enables me to use foods before their freezer time "expires," which is usually 4-6 months. Sometimes I've also listed uncooked foods (e.g., 1/2 pound extra lean ground beef) that I've placed in the freezer so I don't forget to use them.
Now you know everything I know.
Love, Mom
